Sega has reduced its full year sales and profit forecasts for the current financial year amid struggles in the pachinko industry.
Full-year net sales of $3.38bn and profits of $98.1m were originally predicted by the Japanese veteran, but it has now revised these totals to $2.94bn and $44.6m...

Sanic Hegehog's twisted and tortured history isn't one we're comfortable with explaining here - just check out the always-reliable Know Your Meme for the full low-down - but Sega has finally embraced this distorted version of the character by including it in Sonic Forces.
That's right, you can now clad your avatar in a...

Sega has announced that Valkyria Chronicles 4 is coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2018.
The tactical RPG sequel is also launching on the PS4 and Xbox One, and mixes turned-based strategy with third-person action.
Set in a fictional world which resembles World War II-era Europe, Valkyria Chronicles 4 sees the return...

Last week brought quite a few major retail releases, with the Switch featuring quite prominently. All told Nintendo's diminutive system had a decent set of results in the UK charts (which don't include eShop sales), albeit with a familiar face still leading the way.
In the all-format stakes Sonic...

Sonic Forces launches today and we sadly don't have a review for you - suffice to say review code has gone out very late indeed - but our friends over at Digital Foundry do at least have some comparison footage which shows how the Switch version shapes up against the PS4 and Xbox One iterations.
The news isn't good for...

It's fair to say that the NES Mini and SNES Mini have been very successful ventures for Nintendo, selling millions of units and creating a new awareness of the company's glorious past.
However, when the NES Mini was announced it felt very much like Nintendo was playing catch-up; we'd already seen...

The Shining Force series has a special place in the heart of many a Sega fan, but Camelot Software Planning (previously known as Sonic! Software Planning) - the main company behind those titles - doesn't have a working relationship with IP owner Sega right now. The story goes that the two fell out after the development...

Plenty of developers have spoken about seeing the Nintendo Switch - and its integrated Joy-Con controllers - and being inspired with gaming ideas. That seems to have happened to Sonic Team designer and producer Shun Nakamura, which could be good news for Dreamcast fans.
The cult hit on SEGA's...

Sonic Forces may not be the blue hedgehog's first game on Switch - that honour falls to the amazing Sonic Mania - but it's likely to be the one that Sega hopes will find the larger audience, given the hype which has surrounded its development.
Fairly early on, it was rumoured that the game wouldn't be hitting that...

It seems that the upcoming live action/CGI Hollywood Sonic movie has been toiling around in development hell for quite some time, but every now and then it makes a little bit of progress forward. Though it doesn’t sound like it’s going to actually be happening anytime soon—definitely not in time for that ‘2018’ release...

We almost didn't believe it ourselves, but Sega of Japan is teaming up with the racy restaurant chain Hooters to promote the forthcoming Sonic Forces.
We can't help but feel this kind of marketing would be better suited for Sega's Yakuza franchise, but there you go.
The full, lurid details of the campaign are yet to...

In his 16-bit heyday, Sonic was certainly a force to be reckoned with, something that was only further reaffirmed by the recent release of Sonic Mania. It’s when the blue blur stepped into the 3rd dimension that things started going off rails, and it could be argued that Sonic Team has never quite nailed...

We love a good book here at Nintendo Life, and they don't get much better than Read-Only Memory's Collected Works series, which takes an in-depth look at classic consoles. As a follow-on to the excellent Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works there is now a Dreamcast book campaign on Kickstarter.

During the Japanese version of today's Nintendo Direct it was confirmed that Sega is bringing its Phantasy Star series to the Nintendo Switch.
Phantasy Star Online 2: Cloud is the next instalment in the Phantasy Star Online series, which in turn is a spin-off from the classic line of JRPGs which...

Sega has confirmed that Sonic Forces will launch on the Nintendo Switch on November 9th in Japan.
The Nintendo edition will arrive alongside the PlayStation 4 version at retail, with a cost of 5,990 Yen. Japanese Xbox One owners will only have digital release, costing 5,980 Yen.
In the west, Sonic Forces has a...

It's fair to say that Sonic Mania has been really well received so far, attracting positive reviews all over the shop. Our own review will be with you shortly (spoilers: we like it too!). For many Sonic fans this is the game they've always wanted Sega to make -- a spiritual successor to the original Mega Drive trilogy...

While plenty went nuts over the NES Mini and the cycle begins anew with the upcoming SNES Mini, it's sometimes worth remembering that licensed (and unlicensed) clones of SEGA's old hardware have been around for years. Sometimes they're 'mini', occasionally they're chunky but offer plenty of games and...

The special bonus stages in Sonic games have gone down in legend; if you're old enough to remember the impact of Sonic 2's "run into the screen" stage and Sonic 3's rotating sphere, you'll attest to this.
It has now been revealed that the special stages in Sonic Mania will ape the look of those seen in the Sega CD release...

Sonic the Hedgehog made his Mega Drive debut 26 years ago today.
On June 23rd 1991, Sega's answer to Super Mario arrived on North American store shelves, with the Japanese and European releases following in July. With its incredible visuals and astonishing speed, the game was hailed as an instant classic, and went on to...

Sega Forever has finally launched after weeks of speculation, and sadly, it's not had the best of starts. Dogged by poor emulation, the games released so far may be free to download and play, but they're a long way from being the best way to experience such classic titles.
While Sega clearly has some work to do in order to bring...

Yesterday with joyous glee we reported that Sega Forever had launched on smart devices, and we touched on some comments from Sega Networks' chief marketing officer Mike Evans about the possibilities of bringing the collection of games to Switch as they are built using Unity.
However, it...

It's fair to say that AtGames doesn't have the best reputation in the realm of clone consoles - which is somewhat ironic when you consider the company has been doing this for years now. Its systems are typically marred by poor emulation, terrible AV output options and ropey audio, but it's trying to...

Sega's been teasing its Sega Forever service for a while now, and has recently indulged in a satfisyingly old-school promotional campaign which includes mailing out cassette tapes with classic Sega tunes o

SEGA, or perhaps it'll be Sega, is gearing up for a rebrand and relaunch of priorities as we head towards 2020. The company is seeking to build buzz around its potential change in direction, pitching a localised video teaser on the 'Future of Sega', published via IGN. The original was published in Japanese a month ago,...

The name Yuzo Koshiro will be instantly familiar to anyone who has been gaming for the past 30 years. The legendary creator of music for games like Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, ActRaiser and Etrian Odyssey has been president of Ancient Corp for 27 years now, and during that time he has contributed some...

Sonic Forces is playable at E3, so naturally it's on our list of things to do in LA. More footage has been emerging of the demo, though, which features plenty of chatty Sonic buddies and a blend of 'modern' and 'classic' Sonic gameplay.
There's a new trailer to showcase the game, too, replicating some of the demo stages...

AtGames has confirmed that it is rolling out three new versions of its "classic" Sega Genesis clone hardware this year, alongside three new Atari-themed systems.
Coming this year are the Sega Genesis Flashback, a system we already knew about which features 85 games and support for original cartridges. Wireless controllers and 720p HDMI...

Maker of high-end collectibles First 4 Figures has again gone above and beyond creating its latest piece to celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th Anniversary. Partnering with Sega to celebrate the occasion, the figure returns to Sonic's original outing on the Genesis. Sprinting across Green Hill Zone and passing the goal plate (which...

Back in 1994, Sega and Nintendo were very much at war. The two companies were battling for dominance of the living room, with the Genesis and Super Nintendo firmly ensconced in millions of households all over the world. Keen to push its rival to the limit, Sega took part in a wide range of promotional activities...

Games companies face ongoing challenges in promoting and monetising their retro content, especially in this age of emulators that are readily available across various devices. Nintendo has the Virtual Console - though the details of its Switch equivalent are still largely a mystery - and we see...

Sega may be one of the gaming world's biggest third-party publishers but it was once a mover and shaker in the world of hardware and the first company to seriously challenge Nintendo for dominance of the living room.
During the '80s and '90s the company produced a string of hits, including Streets of Rage, Sega...

If you've been following the growth of "clone" consoles over the past decade or so then the name AtGames will instantly ring a bell. This company has been producing licensed hardware clones for years, and has periodically updated its Sega Genesis / Mega Drive line with new features and games, but what it has...

Brazilian firm TecToy has enjoyed a long and prosperous relationship with Sega which dates back to the days of the Master System and Mega Drive, and this year the firm is celebrating 30 years of partnership with the Japanese gaming legend.
TecToy has already confirmed that it is producing a...

Sonic Riders may not have been the most critically-lauded entry in the character's history, but it provided an interesting spin of the racing concept first introduced in Sonic R. However, according to Unseen 64, Riders could well have been inspired by pitch made by a North American studio called Vision...

Puyo Puyo Tetris is just days away from its Western release on the Nintendo Switch, and in recent times SEGA has been uploading some handy tutorial videos to help you prepare for its arrival. Considering the fact this writer continually gets battered by the CPU in the demo, watching these is certainly a good idea.
You can see the full...

Sega has launched a countdown site for what appears to be another entry in the Bayonetta series.

WaterMelon, best known for its RPG Pier Solar, has just revealed its next project - a side-scrolling fighter for the Sega Mega Drive called Paprium. Development began quite some time ago, when the game was known simply as

Today, during the Sonic Panel at Austin's SXSW Gaming event Sonic Team revealed that Project Sonic 2017 will officially be called Sonic Forces.
This comes from the fact that the game will explore the "Forces of Good and Evil" - it's possible we could see something similar to Sonic Adventure 2 and its...

During the SXSW Sonic panel held by Aaron Webber, a myriad of Sonic Mania details has been revealed. The game, which was originally slated to be a title which would come out in spring of 2017, has unfortunately been delayed until the following summer of 2017.
The development team stressed that they were...

Puyo Puyo Tetris is set to be a welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch library when it arrives late April this year. If you were curious to know how the game plays out then footage from this recent Japanese tournament which SEGA has put up on its YouTube channel might be of interest...

If you like tapping your toes to classic tunes from Sega games - and let's face it, who doesn't - then you'll be pleased to learn that the Japanese veteran has made many of its video game music album available for streaming on Spotify.
The official soundtrack albums for games such as Out Run, NiGHTS, Virtua Fighter 5,

While Sega has been curiously reluctant to update its existing Wii Virtual Console catalogue for the Wii U and 3DS, it hasn't entirely forgotten its past glories this console cycle. Courtesy of emulation experts M2 we've had some amazing updates of vintage Sega games on the 3DS, each one blessed with auto-stereoscopic visuals and a...

With Christmas almost here, many of you are no doubt wondering exactly what gaming goodies Saint Nick is going to leave under your tree. These days it's all 3DS, Wii U and perhaps PS4 and Xbox One, but back in 1994 there were only two real options: Nintendo and Sega.

Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage hits Japan this week, and the latest issue of Famitsu has revealed that fans of the series can unlock bonus games with their existing save data.
If you own Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives then you can unlock 1984's Girl's Garden - famous for marking the debut of Sonic co-creator...

We've seen lots of attractive coffee table art books aimed at retro gaming fans in recent times, which is no bad thing. Joining the ranks is a publication simply titled 8-Bit Art Book - by Ear Books - which pays homage to the visual quality of classic games spanning from 1975 to the early '90s.

Way back in 2014 we reported that various Sega properties were being considered for TV and even movies. It sounds like these projects are one step closer to becoming a reality as two classic Sega properties - Altered Beast and Streets of Rage - have been added to the slate of Circle of Confusion (Fear The Walking Dead) and...

Sonic turns 25 this year and Nintendo is marking the occasion with a sale on selected Sonic the Hedgehog titles, no doubt inspired by the Black Friday madness which is currently gripping the planet.
The titles - all digital versions, of course - are:

Brazil has been in the gaming news lately thanks to the fact that Tectoy is planning on releasing a new version of Sega's Mega Drive next year, but the country's fixation with gaming goes way back to the birth of the industry, and a excellent series of video features by Red Bull...

The Sega Mega Drive - or Genesis, if you're of the North American persuasion - may be a vintage system in the eyes of modern players but that doesn't mean it can't get new software.
With that in mind, say hello to Tanglewood, a new action-platformer which is currently in development for Sega's legendary 16-bit console...

The fact that the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive, if you prefer) is no longer in production hasn't stopped companies from creating new games for it. Pier Solar was one of the first to kick things off, but since then we've had other studios getting in on t

SEGA 3D Classics Collection is rather good, bundling together plenty of delicious retro games - including some making their way out of Japan for the first time in their 3D form. This collection arrived in North America earlier in the year, and thankfully European gamers can now get in on the act.
It's available on...

Making old systems new again is a bit of a trend at the moment, with the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition (Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe) being just one example that's due in stores soon. Different markets cater to different needs, bringing up...

Once upon a time the local arcade was the only place to get your cutting-edge gaming fix. Back in the '80s and '90s coin-op tech was way ahead of what was available in the home and companies like Sega, Capcom and SNK all put plenty of resource into creating coin-guzzling smash-hits.
Fast forward to today and arcades are all but dead,...

Sega's classic arcade game Shinobi wowed ninja fans back in 1987; with its addictive fast-paced action and great atmosphere it was only a matter of time before it got ported to pretty much every home format under the sun - including the NES and the Master System.
The Revenge of Shinobi was released early...

Following the announcement of the third and final Sega 3D Classics package in Japan, Sega has been drip-feeding details of the new games included in the collection. First up was Turbo OutRun, quickly followed by the sublime 16-bit shooter

In July BitSummit 4th took place in Japan, and Lizardcube's Omar Cornut and Ben Fiquet were in attendance showing off Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, a HD remake of the Master System classic.

Before Sonic arrived on the scene, Sega's mascot was a monkey boy in a jumpsuit who liked playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Alex Kidd may have been dumped as soon as the Blue Blur appeared on the Mega Drive and turned Sega into the coolest brand on the planet, but for truly dedicated fans he holds a special place in gaming...

Over the weekend we reported that Sega is adding the superb Thunder Force III to its third and final 3D Classic retail collection, which is due for release in Japan this December. The reason that Sega has been able to add this title to the roster is simple - it now owns the rights to all...

Japan is getting its third and final retail collection of Sega 3D Classics this year, and Sega has been teasing the new games which will be included.
We recently discovered that Turbo Outrun is making the cut on Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage, but there were still three more unknown games to be confirmed.
We now know...

Not so long ago we reported that the next Sega 3D Classics retail collection to arrive in Japan would contain a mystery title which had been voted for by fans.
Sega has now released a trailer which shows that the game in question is Turbo Outrun, the 1989 sequel to original racing smash hit. The trailer also gives us a tease of what the...

Sega and Nintendo's history has been well documented in the past, with the two firms being bitter rivals during the 16-bit era. In recent years things have become a little more rosy, what with Nintendo publishing some of Sega's games on its consoles. Sega's transition from hardware maker to...

Atlus and Sega's publishing partnership with Deep Silver was confirmed a while back and came as incredibly positive news for European fans, as it means they should be getting access to all of the lovely RPGs produced by those two firms.

Sega's line of 3D Classics has gone down a storm with 3DS owners thanks to a cunning combination of superb emulation, neat extras and - of course - killer games.
While the titles have been released individually on the eShop, Sega has also published collections at retail, and the next helping - the third to arrive...

3D visuals have largely become the industry standard these days, supported by a host of special tools and engines which aid their creation and streamline the design process.
However, back in the '80s the landscape was a lot different. 2D pixel artwork was the dominant style, but studios often had to create their...

Despite the incredible success of the Sega Genesis in North America, there are a few puzzling omissions from the console's library in that particular region - and our friends over at iretrogamer have decided to take a look at some of the most notable examples...

Though SEGA's success in the console industry was relatively rocky after its 16-bit days, the Genesis was certainly nothing to be sniffed at in its heyday. The console played host to dozens of classic titles, many of which have received excellent 3D remakes on the 3DS over the past few years.
For those of you that missed some...

Has it really been 25 years since the first Puyo Puyo game? You might not be all that familiar with the largely Japanese exclusive series, but we've seen a few Western releases over the years, the most famous of which has to be Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.

Following last week's European announcement, distributor Five Star Games has confirmed the SEGA 3D Classics Collection will also be released in Australia on 4th November.

Earlier in the week SEGA Europe teased the announcement of the region's release date for SEGA 3D Classics Collection, an excellent 3DS title that combines nine (10 with a fun bonus) games from the series. Four of those titles are new to the West, while the remainder have previously had eShop releases.
To start with the...

Being a SEGA fan is a strange experience, as it encompasses undying love and commitment to the company along with angst, suffering and fear. The at-times-disastrous Sonic the Hedgehog anniversary party was almost glorious in its shoddiness (with a couple of tasty game reveals to make us feel better), and the company continues to poke...

Sega has two new Sonic the Hedgehog titles in development at the moment, both of which are expected to arrive next year. Project Sonic 2017 is coming to NX as well as other platforms, while Sonic Mania - a more traditional take on Sega's mascot - sadly isn't coming to a Nintendo system.

Those of you old enough to have lived through the 16-bit war of the '90s will almost certainly know the name Tom Kalinske.

Sega's 32-bit Saturn console wasn't the success story the company had hoped for, and its failure against the Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 is considered by critics to be one of the many reasons the Japanese company walked away from producing domestic hardware.

3DS owners have watched the pocket-sized portable become something of a treasure trove of JRPGs over the past few years; ATLUS in particular has showered the system with Etrian Odyssey and Shin Megami Tensei titles, Square-Enix introduced the Bravely series, and Nintendo's stepped back up to the plate in helping to publish...

For all of you North American JRPG fans looking for a good reason to dust off the ol' 3DS this summer, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD is only a couple weeks away from release. This next entry in the 7th Dragon series is the latest RPG to be put out by SEGA, and footage of the game is certainly promising. Naturally, not everyone is...

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice might not have fans quite as excited as it should, but it would appear that Sega and developer Sanzaru Games appear committed to making up for previous Sonic Boom offerings and producing a quality 3DS outing - and new footage seen in the Japanese trailer for the game should give plenty of reasons to be...

Sega is committed to ensuring future Sonic titles are of a high standard, claims chief brand officer Ivo Gerscovich.
Speaking to MCV, Gerscovich points out that the fact that Sonic's latest game - Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice - was held back for 2016 is proof of this renew

The main nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog is one who has gone by a couple names. In the earlier, Genesis-era games, he was mostly referred to as Dr. Ivo Robotnik. In the later games, he still retained this name, but was referred to often as Eggman or Dr. Eggman, obviously in reference to the shape of the villain. This may...

It's no secret that the Sonic Boom spin-off games haven't been very well received. While the accompanying cartoon series has been quite successful, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was an absolute mess of a game, and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal was only average at best.

While we wait (im)patiently for Nintendo to get its E3 party started, we stumbled across an interesting broadcast in our YouTube subscriber feed. So intriguing that we may just have to cover it live.

The line-up of SEGA 3D classics / remasters on the 3DS is full of gems, with the occasional average titles thrown in.

Sega's Wonder Boy series is one of its strongest 8 and 16-bit franchises, but it has been dormant for many years - a situation no doubt related to the fact that original developer Westone sadly no longer exists.

In late 2014 there was nervous chatter around teases of a new title from the Sonic Team, and it was revealed to be a mobile title.

Sonic turns 25 this year, but Sega has thus far failed to make a big deal out of it. Sure, we've got the (much delayed) Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice to look forward to on 3DS, but what fans really want is a brand-new game which

The amazing Sega 3D Classics Collection is available now in North American and Japan, with a European release coming later this year.
Sega has posted an interview with Yosuke Okunari, Kagasei Shimomura and Naoki Horii regarding the compendium, and it has been revealed

Back in 1996, Sega of America was at something of a crossroads. The company had successfully bloodied the nose of Nintendo with its Genesis console, but a series of botched hardware launches - including the Sega CD and 32X - had eroded consumer confidence in the brand, and a new competitor had arrived on the scene in the form...

SEGA 3D Classics Collection on 3DS is, in our view, a bit of a gem. It has 9 core games included - and a neat 10th to unlock - and provides a lot of M2-developed retro goodness on the portable. We've always been advocates for the download series, and this retail bundle has done little to reduce our enthusiasm.
The catch, of...

So the Nintendo UK Twitter account up and posted this video from Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games recently. No rhyme, no warning. Such is art.
In your most desperate moment, when your back is against the wall and the light of hope is but a dim, warmless dot, may you remember this large, devious...

SEGA 3D Classics Collection has been out in North America for a short while - let's have a brief moment of consideration for deprived PAL gamers, please... - and has nine excellent games on one cartridge (or download). Well, actually, it has ten.

Sega's iconic Shinobi franchise is being turned into a Hollywood movie, Deadline is reporting.

The recent western release of Sega 3D Classics Collection is a reminder not only of how amazing some retro titles are, but also of the incredible talent of Japanese studio M2, which worked alongside Sega's Yosuke Okunari to port and enhance some of its most famous arcade and domestic games on the 3DS.
M2 has also...

You know a franchise and a company have a unique ability to exasperate fans when a 'special reveal' at a live panel turns out to be for an event in San Diego. A Sonic the Hedgehog panel at SXSW did just that, ending what was actually a relatively fun panel not with a mic drop, but an atmosphere where you...

Like the vast majority of gaming icons who appeared during the 16-bit era, Sonic the Hedgehog was a silent protagonist. However, his journey into 3D saw him gifted - if that's the right word - with a voice, and in his most recent outings, he rarely shuts up.
As if to prove that less is most definately more, hacker...
